...addressing or refuting any of them—and laughed along when some elicited cheers from audience members. Although she mentioned that people subscribe to many different religions, Penn suggested that we go to our ministers for support. She even sang an original song about how her faith in Jesus helped her overcome the adversity she encounters because of her homosexuality. On the whole, I found the presentation simplistic, patronizing, and expressive of a remarkably white/American/Christian perspective. Indeed, I’m concerned that it may have been more harmful than helpful, confirming a sort of paternalistic moral superiority...
...standing in front of the huge lightning rod of a Jesus statue is a slightly different story. Petosky was one of the many stops on my route as the Great Lakes (code name for the Midwestern states between Pennsylvania and Missouri) Research-Writer for “Lets Go: USA.” I spent the first seven weeks of my summer in one of Harvard’s most-coveted positions in one of the least-coveted places imaginable.

Tomorrow’s Tuesday!” before slumping drunkenly into the outstretched arms of two friends who were ready to help escort him home after he had finished his evening of pre-partying. And, why shouldn’t Tuesdays be so keenly anticipated? What better...
...even Borobudur may not be powerful enough to bring about a consensus that will satisfy the demands of capitalism and piety. Holy places attract big markets and arouse intense emotions. Jesus was so offended by the unseemly spectacle of commerce in the temple that he cast out the merchants and money changers, but today the piazza of St. Peter's in Rome teems with vendors selling plastic Piet?s. Paths are many; profit motive...
